Sessions with Jiri Mocicka

• DaS™ – Exploration (15 min): Dear Designer, This session is designed for you to ask questions about your current design process and why things do not work the way you expected. Each environment, business, or company has its own purpose, rhythm or delivery routines when it comes to design function. When designers travel between the agencies and in-house, these methods and hidden agendas are often unrecognised, which causes detriment to the designer and the business. This session is designed to untangle these challenges and bring you a different perspective on your design life. Hi, I'm Jiri, Your Design Coach For the last two decades, I've been helping designers get the best out of their roles and deliver products that matter and impact people's lives.
